Jian Dan, barefooted, tiptoed out of bed and stealthily made her way toward the balcony.
When she reached the balcony, intending to close the window, she was captivated by the scenery outside.
In the sky, a full and bright moon hung, its brilliance perhaps the reason why stars were nearly invisible tonight.
She had always thought that a sky full of stars was the most beautiful, often overlooking the moon, but today she realized that the beauty of the moon was a different kind from that of the stars.
Jian Dan cocked her little head, staring at the big, round moon, somewhat entranced.
Chu Liyuan sensed the empty space beside him, opened his eyes, and saw that the person who should have been sleeping in his arms was standing alone on the balcony.
Getting up, Chu Liyuan saw Jian Dan wearing only a shirt, his brow furrowing slightly as he wrapped the blanket from beside him around himself and joined her on the balcony.
"Aren't you cold, dressed so little?"
